They like the quilts to be a minimum of 50 x 70" to fit on the bunk. Up to 60 x 80" will fit and look great. The kids are ages
6-17.

I totally agree, Maggie. I lost my mom when I was a year old, so this is very close to my heart.

That's awesome, Diane.

We had a great day. We collected 148 blankets and quilts yesterday. They will mostly go to kids in the big hospitals downtown, Philadelphia Children's Hospital and St Chrstopher's. But some will go to Camp Erin and other facilities. Project Linus is terrific.
